I have to say that when we have 'spun the cube' in PA,
it does get everyones attention. (Albeit a very short
attention span.) 

Having grabbed their attention has given us the
opportunity to plant the seed that they do have
options.

It may seem like a 'shady' way of going about things,
but it does (has) work(ed).  And has lead to
legitimate advocacy work with a couple NPO's.
